The game features all three official MotoGP Classes, and Capcom is reportedly "keen to ensure that all the riders are faithfully represented". A fairly traditional Tutorial Mode is included to allow players to try out the varying handling schemes – Arcade, Advanced or Simulation – promoted by on-screen tips while playing.

Harvey Parker, lead artist on the latest Moto GP game, has told IncGamers that the in-game realism is limited by the amount of memory on the consoles.
This guys seems a bit contradicting of himself. He talks about achieving realism and how it's limited by the console memory, yet goes on to say they are trying to make it arcady like shift?
Yeah GT5. /s
Big reason PS3 is so fast is SPU's and fast memory of the Cell. The local store on which games like GT5 get their realism is only 256KB.That's Kilobytes not Megabytes. Very little memory. So memory is not the main problem for realism. Keeping the SPU's fed and scheduling them correctly is. GT5 does it. Multiplatform games try and throw RAM at the problem instead. And it fails in comparison. But they don't have a lot of options because it's the only solution for the 360 and it fails in comparison. It's old design and old thinking.
As with pretty much every game, really. In this case it's a bit of a shame, but then Forza has shown that you can get really realistic vehicles even with the current systems.
